IN514R Spec SheetProduct Description
The Blue Seal Evolution IN514R3-LS is a 900mm wide, floor-standing, four-zone induction cooktop supplied on an integral leg stand. Each zone operates independently using induction technology, which transfers heat directly to compatible cookware rather than heating the surface itself. This means the ceramic glass remains cool to the touch away from the pan, and power to each zone cuts the moment cookware is lifted away.
In a busy service environment, the responsiveness of induction is a genuine operational advantage. Adjustments happen almost instantly, which matters when a sauce needs pulling back quickly or a pan needs to come off the heat without delay. Because the surface itself stays relatively cool, ambient heat build-up during a long service is noticeably lower than with gas or conventional electric hobs — a practical consideration in compact or enclosed kitchen spaces where working temperatures are already a challenge.
Day-to-day, this unit supports efficient multi-preparation working across all four zones simultaneously:
- Automatic pan detection cuts power the moment cookware is removed, reducing energy use between preparations
- Infinitely variable power controls per zone allow precise, independent temperature management
- The ceramic glass surface wipes down quickly after service with minimal effort
- The leg stand configuration means no separate fabricated base or bench is needed
- Zone status indicators confirm active heating and pan detection at a glance
As a standalone electric unit, the IN514R3-LS requires a three-phase electrical supply. There are no gas or water connections involved. The floor-standing configuration should be installed on a level surface, and adequate clearance for ventilation and access should be confirmed during planning. This is not a drop-in or countertop unit — the leg stand makes it a dedicated floor-standing cooking station.
This cooktop suits restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations running multiple simultaneous preparations through service. It is a practical choice for kitchens transitioning away from gas or where surface hygiene and temperature precision are priorities. For very high-volume continuous-service operations, it is worth considering whether a wider configuration or higher combined output would better match throughput demands.
If you want to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout, electrical supply, or service pattern before ordering, the team is glad to help.

IN514R Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- This unit requires a three-phase electrical supply. Before ordering, it is worth confirming with your electrician that your kitchen has sufficient three-phase capacity at the intended installation point, as the combined output of four induction zones places a meaningful load on the supply.
- The IN514R3-LS is well suited to busy restaurant and hotel kitchen service, but for very high-volume sites running continuous output across all zones for extended periods, it is worth discussing whether a wider or higher-output configuration would better match your throughput. The team can help assess this based on your typical cover numbers and service pattern.
- Induction requires ferromagnetic cookware — cast iron and most stainless steel pans are typically compatible, while aluminium, copper, and glass are not unless they have an induction-suitable base. If your kitchen is transitioning from gas and you are unsure about your existing pan stock, it is worth reviewing compatibility before installation.
